1. Fish
Fish is divided into two main categories: farmed and caught in the wild. Fish reared in fish farms, grown at about the same conditions as the domesticated animals. It is packed into a limited space, and are forced to survive in terrible conditions. A huge amount of faeces in these confined spaces, resulting in frequent outbreaks of disease and propagation of parasites and prevent this from happening, a lot of antibiotics and other chemicals added to the water. Feed the fish wonderful diet of cheap grain, soy flour, gluten, chemicals and neurotoxins. And all of that is eating the fish, then you will eat with it!

Fish caught in the wild, of course, it is better ... though not by much. For the most part it is full of mercury (except for some sardines), and mercury rightly bears the title of one of the most toxic elements on Earth.

What to choose instead?

Since you do not want to completely abandon the fish first, choose fish caught in the wild, and secondly, look for the network lists the least harmful fish - they are there.

2. Fruit juice

Why? I will say just one word: sugar. Yes, eventually your body for any fruit juice - just sugar. Because pure fruit juice did not have any fibers as soon as it reaches the stomach, it instantly turns to sugar, and the sugar level in your blood soars to the heavens. Of course, the juice from concentrates, which you buy at the store, disgusting in every way, and most people know it, but fresh juice, which you have prepared with their own hands at home is not much better. Because ... well, yes, sugar.

What to drink instead?

Vegetable juice! And if you want to sweeten it, add an apple or two in it. And if you want fruit, make yourself a smoothie. Since smoothies - this is just a very finely chopped fruit smoothies better than fruit juices.

3. Cooking in olive oil

At room temperature, olive oil - a very healthy product. But it is very hot, and it becomes rancid carcinogen. It pains me to even look at it as a chef in television shows watered their pans with olive oil. The best cooking oil - coconut oil, as it is best to withstand heat.

What to use instead?

Coconut oil, grapeseed oil, and safflower oil is more than suitable for cooking.

4. The syrup of the agave

To be honest, once I do it bathed. And now, many vegans and lovers of healthy eating almost wrote boiling water at the mere mention of agave - and none of them did not even think about the fact that all of its paint benefits are too good to be true. Agave syrup - it is a very sweet liquid, which is often touted as "healthy" or "nizkoglikemicheskuyu" alternative to sugar. But, according to Dr. Joseph Mercola, essentially agave syrup after all processing steps is not particularly different from the normal fructose.
What to choose instead?
You can use any natural sweetener.

5. Soya

Soy milk and tofu are often considered "healthier" alternative to meat and dairy products. No, I do not mean that meat and dairy products especially healthy food, but I believe soy is as bad, if not worse. Eating organically fermented soy products is allowed only in small quantities, but for some reason most of the developed countries, the population believes that foods like soy milk and tofu (to the same for the most part made from genetically modified plants) are good for our health. This is not so.

Hundreds of clinical and laboratory research clearly linked soy to malnutrition, digestive disorder, disturbance of the thyroid gland, the decline of mental activity, problems with the reproductive system, infertility, birth defects in children with compromised immune systems, heart disease and cancer. And if you do not believe me, read the book "The truth about soy" MD Kayla T. Daniel.

What to choose instead?

If you are looking for vegetable proteins, I advise you to pay attention to the lentils, beans, chickpeas, quinoa and fresh herbs with fleshy leaves.

6. Dairy products

The main argument of supporters of a healthy diet in favor of dairy products - they say, is an important source of calcium. Only here it is not so. Since milk and dairy products - is almost completely animal proteins, it has an acidic effect. And in order to restore the acid-alkaline balance, your body turns to its own reserves of alkaline materials. And this is primarily calcium accumulated in the bones. Thus, instead of calcium replenish stocks in the body, reducing their milk. Yes, surprisingly, I know. But in addition to this pasteurized milk contains a lot of antibiotics, its source is not the most healthy cows, and it's full of pus. Yes, pus. According to laboratory tests, in the conventional milk liter package contains more than 316 million pus cells!

As used instead of dairy products?

Try cheese made from nuts (cashew cheese or Brazil nut), and milk from the coconuts, almonds, oats or rice.

The simplest answer to your question is to eat the most colorful foods; the more colorful the food, the more nutrition it has. The only exception here is about meat: meat is never a truly healthy option.

It depends entirely on who you are, in terms of heritage. The Inuit eat no vegetables, yet do not experience a significantly different life expectancy. This is likely true of many early peoples who were scattered widely across the globe. Humans are the dominant species on this planet, at least up until now, because of our tremendous ability to adapt to different environments. Nevertheless, adaptation has a price: It affects the foods that your body will find most natural and, therefore, healthy. There are areas in Europe where fat consumption is well above the amount recommended for people who are not from their region, yet they are as healthy as others who has maintained a diet consistent with their background.

Study your genetic background. Consider how long your family and you have been living in places that differs in eating habits from that of your early ancestors--it is entirely conceivable your eating habits have re-adapted to the region you now inhabit. After concluding which region would probably be considered your present genetic home, learn what diet is considered healthy in your community. Stick with expert local sources, however, because too many "experts" believe there is only one healthy way to eat.

The answer is simple, only if we take a look how is made our peptic system. That is made only for plants. So, in my opinion and after 2 years test on myself, if we want health there is only one way. No eating processing foods, no eating anything food from animals, minimize glucose, salt , cereals .
Eat only food from plants, raw at least 70%, and be sure that your body will reward for that. My selections are fruits, vegetables, nuts , and rice. And don't forget that we don't need animal food because all that we need there are at kingdom of plants , that as our ancient ancestors , they know better what is best for our health.

Apples are an excellent source of antioxidants, which combat free radicals. Free radicals are damaging substances generated in the body that cause undesirable changes and are involved in the aging process and some diseases.

Some animal studies have found that an antioxidant found in apples (polyphenols) might extend lifespans.

Researchers at The Florida State University said that apples are a "miracle fruit".

In their study, the investigators found that older women who starting a regime of eating apples daily experienced a 23 percent drop in levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and a 4% increase in good cholesterol (HDL) after just six months.

There is a lot of controversy over what foods are healthy, if meat is healty, etc, but the truth is that people take things way out of proportion when it comes to diet. From a nutritionist:

-Meats are ok so long as they're grilled or baked. We need the meats: beef, pork, fish; for proteins, vitamins and minerals. Poultry, Fowl.
-Mushrooms are excellent source for maintaining a woman's antioxident level which fights against breast cancer. They're really great grilled or sauteed in a little olive oil, maybe toss in a little garlic and eat them on a salad, over meats and fish, or with a variety of other foods.
-Blueberries- full of fibre and antioxidants, vitamins and are really delicious! They are naturally sweet and great in yogurt, ice cream, cereal, or just as a snack. You can also add them to a fruit salad with Pineapple, Apples, Strawberries, and other fruits that are available. (Fresh fruit is the best but don't knock the canned fruits if fresh isn't available.)
-Vegetables- Spinach, Broccoli, Kale, Lettuce, Potatoes, Beans, Peas, in short, all vegetables are good. Most you can pretty much eat raw or al dente (to the tooth or taste). Corn, Asparagus, and well, you get the idea. Full of vitamins and proteins, antioxidents, minerals... but they really round out any meal! You don't have to overcook them to enjoy them!
-Fish (and yes, despite what some people might seem to think, fish is a MEAT!)- I mentioned this earlier but I wanted to elaborate on the necessity of fish for its protein and oils.
-Eggs- great source of protein! Scrambled, fried, poached... it doesn't matter. Eggs are great!
-Nuts- Almonds, Walnuts, Pecans... well just about any nuts are great sources of nutrients, vitamins, etc. You can bake with them, eat them raw, mix them in salads... so many uses.
-Bacon- Don't fry it, grill it and let the grease drain off... chop it up and have it with potatoes, or with a good steak, all beef hot dogs, etc.

There are so many other things such as Oatmeal, Bran, Wheat, Barley... but the point is to eat foods in a healthy fashion. Learn how to prepare them in a healthy manner! You don't have to stop eating your favorite foods (unless you have a very strict diet from a licensed physician or nutritionist) just learn how to properly prepare them! There are so many arguments over can I drink milk, can I eat cheese, what about eggs? Of course you can but eat moderately. Nice sized portions, drained from grease, bake instead of frying, saiteeing in olive oil, adding garlic and onions, bell peppers, peppercorns, and so many other healthy herbs and spices! Oilives are delicious and healthy! Sardines! Oysters! And we overlook tiomatoes and tomatoe sauce. Lemon, lime... and the list goes on! Drink lots of water, fruit juice, and even a glass of wine now and again doesn't hurt... it's healthy. Wine cleans your system.

Eat healthy but it doesn't mean to starve or be crazy about eliminating all of the tasty, healthy things that are out there! Everyone, I think, has their own agenda regarding meats, what you can or cannot eat... check with your physician! What is right for YOU might be different than what is right for another. And don't overlook the value of proper, daily exercise. When you eat, you need to exercise, its that simple!

So... eat in moderation, exercise, let your physician help you with a diet... the key is to enjoy food, enjoy life, but you don't have to over-do it! And don't forget about the value of dark chocolate, or even milk chocolate!

1 - Apples
Apples are an excellent source of antioxidants, which combat free radicals. Free radicals are damaging substances generated in the body that cause undesirable changes and are involved in the aging process and some diseases.

Some animal studies have found that an antioxidant found in apples (polyphenols) might extend lifespans.

Researchers at The Florida State University said that apples are a "miracle fruit".

In their study, the investigators found that older women who starting a regime of eating apples daily experienced a 23 percent drop in levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and a 4% increase in good cholesterol (HDL) after just six months.

2 - Almonds
Second on our list of top 10 healthy foods is almonds. Almonds are rich in nutrients, including magnesium, vitamin E, iron, calcium, fiber, and riboflavin. A scientific review published in Nutrition Reviews3 found that almonds as a food may help maintain healthy cholesterol levels.

The authors wrote:

"The message that almonds, in and of themselves, are a heart-healthy snack should be emphasized to consumers. Moreover, when almonds are incorporated into a healthy, balanced diet, the benefits are even greater."
Almonds have more fiber than any other tree nut.

The fatty acid profile of almonds, which is made up of 91-94% unsaturated fatty acids, may partly explain why it helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels.

3 - Broccoli
Broccoli is rich in fiber, calcium, potassium, folate and phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are compounds which reduce the risk of developing heart disease, diabetes and some cancers. Broccoli also contains vitamin C, as well as beta-carotene, an antioxidant.
A single 100 gram serving of broccoli can provide you with over 150 percent of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C, which in large doses can potentially shorten the duration of the common cold.7

Another ingredient, sulforphane, which exists in broccoli, is also said to have anti-cancer as well as anti-inflammatory qualities. However, overcooking can destroy most of the benefits.

4 - Blueberries
Blueberries are rich in fiber, antioxidants and phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are natural chemicals found in plants.

Unlike minerals and vitamins that are also found in plant foods, phytonutrients are not essential for keeping us alive. However, they may help prevent disease and keep the body working properly.

According to a study carried out at Harvard Medical School, elderly people who eat plenty of blueberries (and strawberries) are less likely to suffer from cognitive decline, compared to other people of their age who do not.10

Scientists at Texas Woman's University found that blueberries help in curbing obesity. Plant polyphenols, which are abundant in blueberries, have been shown to reduce the development of fat cells (adipogenesis), while inducing the breakdown of lipids and fat (lipolysis).

These types of fish have oil in their tissues and around the gut. Their lean fillets contain up to 30% oil, specifically, omega-3 fatty acids. These oils are known to provide benefits for the heart, as well as the nervous system.

Oily fish are also known to provide benefits for patients with inflammatory conditions, such as arthritis.

Oily fish also contain vitamins A and D.

Scientists at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center found that prostate cancer progression was significantly slowed when patients went on a low-fat diet with fish oil supplements.

6 - Leafy green vegetables
Studies have shown that a high intake of dark-leafy vegetables, such as spinach or cabbage may significantly lower a person's risk of developing diabetes type 2.

Researchers at the University of Leicester, England, said that the impact of dark green vegetables on human health should be investigated further, after they gathered data from six studies. They reported their findings in the BMJ.16

Spinach, for example, is very rich in antioxidants, especially when uncooked, steamed or very lightly boiled. It is a good source of vitamins A, B6, C, E and K, as well as selenium, niacin, zinc, phosphorus, copper, folic acid, potassium, calcium, manganese, betaine, and iron.

The Center for Science in the Public Interest, USA, compared the nutritional value of sweet potatoes to other vegetables.17 The sweet potato ranked number one, when vitamins A and C, iron, calcium, protein and complex carbohydrates were considered.

8 - Wheat germ
Wheat germ is the part of wheat that germinates to grow into a plant - the embryo of the seed. Germ, along with bran, is commonly a by-product of the milling; when cereals are refined, the germ and bran are often milled out.

Wheat germ is high in several vital nutrients, such as vitamin E, folic acid (folate), thiamin, zinc, magnesium, phosphorus, as well as fatty alcohols and essential fatty acids.

Wheat germ is also a good source of fiber.

9 - Avocados
Many people avoid avocados because of its high fat content; they believe that avoiding all fats leads to better health and easier-to-control body weight - this is a myth. Approximately 75% of the calories in an avocado come from fat; mostly monosaturated fat.

Avocados are also very rich in B vitamins, as well as vitamin K and vitamin E and have a very high fiber content of 25% soluble and 75% insoluble fiber.

10 - Oatmeal
Concluding our list of top 10 healthy foods is oatmeal. Oatmeal is meal made from rolled or ground oats. In the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, the term "porridge" or "porridge oats" are common terms for the breakfast cereal that is usually cooked.

Interest in oatmeal has increased considerably over the last twenty years because of its health benefits.

Studies have shown that if you eat a bowl of oatmeal everyday your blood cholesterol levels, especially if they are too high, will drop, because of the cereal's soluble fiber content. When findings were published in the 1980s, an "oat bran craze" spread across the USA and Western Europe. The oats craze dropped off in the 1990s.

In 1997, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) agreed that foods with high levels of rolled oats or oat bran could include data on their labels about their cardiovascular heart benefits if accompanied with a low-fat diet. This was followed by another surge in oatmeal popularity.

Oats is rich in complex carbohydrates, as well as water-soluble fiber, which slow digestion down and stabilize levels of blood-glucose.

Oatmeal is very rich in B vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, folate, and potassium. Coarse or steel-cut oats contain more fiber than instant varieties.
